Apple watch fan here, Nice and simple for training, you can use built in or chest strap heart rate. Gives goals per day and month too.

Another one for C2 here. They're very rugged and have all the features you'd need like intervals etc. I do however prefer rowing on the water rowers. They feel more natural and I find I can go for longer. Also they're much nicer looking and have a cool swooshing sound. But both will get the job done fitness wise.

I'm sure you're not basic! Have you tried logging out and back in?

Probiotics won't help you lose weight. Only less in that out can help with that. What they may do is help with digestion, so your body is getting more out of the (hopefully healthy) food you're putting in. I suffer from IBS and lactose intolerance and have found that taking a good probiotic and Lacteze (when needed) has…

Doubt anything is wrong, do you do much training? Make sure you measure your food with a scale to ensure you log correctly.

The only benefit of losing weight before training would be if your main source of fitness would be running. And then only if you're very heavy. I started running when I was 115Kg and have had knee issues ever since. If you do the moves correctly you can lift at any weight and it will accelerate weight loss whilst…

I would suggest sticking with measurements and maybe a DEXA every 3 months. Even they can be out by around 5% (more stable if you always use the same machine. Remember that body fat %, like everything, isn't a true representation. If you drink 4-5 litres of water before a scan your BF% will drop as it's a lower percentage…

One thing I can suggest for DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) is active recovery. If you feel sore, legs hurting etc, make sure you get up and walk around. Sitting on your butt will only make it worse.

Sure that's not Kilojoules?

Also they need to be serviced regularly to be remotely accurate. And this could just be me, but I've always found any fitness equipment I can easily fold and put away usually stays put away.

Have a rest/mobility day mid week. Yoga, pilates or just stretching. Will help with strength and you'll feel better. Also agree with running outside, I go much faster, to the point where I assumed my GPS was wrong but did the times and distance and it was right.

If you're eating more fibre you have to have more water to go with it. Fibre won't do anything at all without water. Fibre draws water into your guts to aid with moving everything along. Fibre without water can actually block you up. Oh and a lot of people find that bananas can block them up so I'd lay off them for a few…

Ugh, can't stand skim milk. I have full cream milk on my cereal and coffee (though I usually prefer long black) Just log it and work around it. Might as well enjoy the food you eat.

See, terrible maths! I read that as the OHP was 15 pounds! It's been a long day... Big jump in PB, well done!!

Maybe (and likely) my maths is off, but you weigh 40 pounds??

Garmin

Easy. Last one.

I'm up at 4:15 to train before work. My work is unpredictable and I would frequently miss afternoon/night sessions. Also means it's just done and out of the way.

Maybe with a good head wind?

Wonder why this and the post regarding HIIT have so many WOO's?

Well done mate, harder than non-drinkers would think. Big step for health.

And fits well!

I'm guilty of this too, I guess it's subconscious sometimes. When I was choosing a PT I chose the fittest looking person there, when really that has nothing to do with how well they'll push me.

If you're using something like the apple watch or FitBit to measure heart rate and this calories you'll have issues with strength training. They're only accurate for steady state cardio. For weights you should use a chest strap and the app/device should know your gender, height and weight at a minimum to give you any kind…

If I eat before training I always feel sick. Plus I train at 5am and just can't get myself to eat before that. As said I don't think it make too big a difference but if strength training I would suggest getting some protein in after training. Preferably from food but a shake if need be.

While calorie burn for weight lifting is flawed, it can’t be beat for timing rest periods and effort. You can see instantly if you’re pushing hard enough. And I use heart rate to time my rest periods. I start the next set at 115bpm

This has always been how I use it. I fill everything for the day in the morning (so I can use the swipe to add feature). This is easy as I generally have the same pre-gym, breakfast, lunch and afternoon snacks everyday. Then I just add dinner when I know what it's going to be. Great knowing ahead of time that i'll have…

Western Sydney here

In 2010 I was 250 pounds. Starting to see some definition!
